The primary research interests of our department are:

  • SGLT2 inhibitors (new medications used for treating type 2 diabetes) and consequences for patients undergoing surgery
  • Efficacy and cost-effectiveness of ultrasound guided blocks for postoperative analgesia
  • Applications of high flow nasal oxygen in high risk patients undergoing sedation or anaesthesia
  • Applications and complications of supraglottic airway devices; these are devices that sit above the vocal cords and assist breathing during anaesthesia
  • New applications of drugs as coanalgesics or co-anaesthetics in anaesthesia
